It's one thing to disagree with me and another to throw insults like "sexist pig" simply because you disagree with me. Perhaps if you actually read all my previous posts you'd already find a lot of legitimate answers and rebuttals to your comments.
I've made it clear time and time again that I'm not talking about all feminists, I've made it clear time and time again that I'm perfectly aware that not all women in the world are treated equally, I've made it clear time and time again that I'm not even against things like maternity leave I'm just pointing out it's contradiction to the ideal of perfect equality.
But NO, all of that ad nauseum can't stop you from making stupid strawman arguments with the sole purpose of baiting me, insulting me and completely disregarding my points that I feel perfectly expressed my point of view, which, I guess I have to add for the umpteenth time, is NOT directed at feminism as a whole anyway.
So your argument is pointless, but of course you won't end there, I guess this is the point where you try to educate me on what my own point of view is.

Boo boo, I understand you may feel attacked. I personally feel that you may feel this way because of a couple things. For one, you struggle with feeling like you're the dirt of the world and therefor are too scared of validating that feeling to admit you are wrong. If I am right, then I wish I could see your face as you read that statement. The second reason being that because of the joy you associate with arguing and being bored, you started some uneducated and clearly ignorant rant against something that is not only very important, but also has to do with the empowerment of an entire oppressed group of people.
See, but it doesn't even stop there. No, you linger on, head-strong and stubborn supporting a point that there's a 90% chance you don't even inherently believe, continually contradicting your already unstable and laughably weak arguments and pretending on some music forum that you actually have some belief or value in what you're saying to not feel insecure.
And, I would like to point out, if you feel attacked, that what you're getting as far as a response from the forum is incoherent with your argument; because if there really was a cult branch of feminism which, just because it's "radical", was as one-sided and degrading to people as you're being right now, one of their supporters would have come in here and ripped you a new one by now.
Fortunately for you real feminists have more to do with their own empowerment as a person, and are therefor usually put together enough to post their one point or two and be okay with that despite what you, society, or anybody says. Yes, even the radicals. Which, by the way, I think you should stop disregarding the progress and achievements of (which socially are phenomenal for everybody) and learn to respect. After all, I wasn't able to keep my mouth shut- and I'm usually good at that!
This isn't against you in any way, of course, I just wanted to point out what I was noticing to you- maybe crack that skull of yours (even if you won't admit it). Why? Well, sadly, I've been coming back to this thread over and over and I got a little angry. Over a forum! Da
mnit! I'll post this anyway. Enjoy MB.
